The firm plans to intall the turbines by November this year, with construction beginning next month. They will sit on the southern flank of the sand bank that lies about 8.5 kilometers south east of Clacton on Sea.
“We are pleased to be the first company testing this new Siemens machine,” said Dong deputy Morten Buchgreitz. “CEO DONG Energy is focused on making offshore wind more competitive and proving that these bigger turbines work will help us achieve that goal.”
